Superb crossings
Mar 2023
Splashed out on a Superfast suite and worth every penny. Fantastic bed, lovely bathroom, excellent refreshments and one of the best showers we've ever had ... on a boat! Know it's a short crossing, but would 10/10 would do again and 100% recommend if you want a bit of private luxury either end of your trip.

friendly and efficient
Mar 2023
We had to travel at fairly short notice because our daughter who lives in Yorkshire had broken both her ankles. Booking was easy, despite the complication of different numbers of people in the car and different requirements there and back.
The terminals were tidy and clean, and boarding and disembarkation were quick and painless on both legs of the trip. Staff, especially Gillian, were really helpful when we had wheelchair accessibility issues on the return journey. The ship is clean, bright and modern. Although we're normally sceptical about the quality of catering on the move, the food in "Taste" looked and smelled so good on our outward journey that we tried a meal on the way home, and it didn't disappoint.
The convenience of access to the Belfast port doesn't quite compensate for the relative remoteness of Cairnryan, but when you balance cost and quality of service against a couple of extra hours on the road, it still works out as a good option.

Don’t forget your sea sickness pills!
Dec 2022 • Family
This was a great service and the ship is really nice inside. We didn’t realise there is no access to car deck after the ferry set sail and left our sea sickness pills in the car and couldn’t get them. We were very surprised there was no chemist on board selling sea sickness pills - only ginger pills that were not very effective (missed opportunity to make a lot of money as a number of people were feeling I’ll). Several of my kids were sea sick as it was a rough crossing. Overall a good experience if you can avoid being sea sick!

Day trip

Nice day trip from Cairnryan to Belfast. Two and a half hours travel. Bus 96 waits at the ferry to take passengers into Belfast city. £2.20 adult. I got a taxi back as I was too tired to wait for the bus back.

Very nice boat but poor reliability
Jun 2022
Trip spoilt by unexplained delays both ways that seem to have been related to inability to cope with the booked passengers and Stena’s disinterest in the adverse effects of these. Surely they must realise that mst of their users are driving a long way to get to the ferry and home again.

Great experience
Jul 2022
Stena staff are wonderful - professional and helpful. Lovely food onboard and plenty of comfortable seating throughout the ship. Ships always run on time and this was no different. Ship is sailed in a way that there is ultimate comfort for passengers.
